Human SNT will be vital to this would be to induce a stem cell to divide, biomedical revolution as it provides proliferate and differentiate into a func- scientists with the tools for studying tioning heart that would be cellular development and compatible with the donor - producing valuable stem from which the original if ȉ cells, stem cell was derived. The more we understand about differentiation, the more likely it will be that the future will allow us to use adult stem cells to induce the plasticity required for organ synthesis. Using adult rather than embryonic stem cells would allow scientists to avoid the creation and destruction of a cloned embryo, thereby solving what some see as a moral problem of tampering with human embryos. The ability to grow new organs or whole tissues from stem cells is still in the future. However, stem cells are being used today to treat leukemia. The treatment involves the destruction of bone marrow cells in the patient; stem cells from a compatible donor are then transplanted and allowed to develop into new bone marrow cells. SNT might facilitate this treatment by making it easier to generate compatible stem cells. In the treatment of neurological diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Lou Gehrig's disease and cerebral palsy, animal experiments have already suggested that transplanted stem cells can ameliorate these pathologies. Conclusion There is general agreement among biomedical scientists that the study of and advances arising from somatic cell nuclear transfer technology, including a more complete understanding of biologi- cal differentiation, will be of major importance to the continuing progress of the biomedical revolution and the treatment of major diseases facing O VGP&lMua&yofmnois Page ll.
